P1290070.JPG

CP+ 2013: Nikon has several examples of its 18-35mm F3.5-4.5G ED consumer-level wide-angle full-frame zoom on show, while Sigma has re-designed and re-worked several of its most interesting lenses, which are being shown in prototype form at its stand. This includes a new version of its 30mm F1.4 for APS-C DSLRs. And, while none are available to shot with yet, we got a chance to handle them, along with the portrait-friendly Sigma DP3 Merrill.

Roger Cicala compares three 24-70mm F2.8 lenses

31 Jan

LensRentals’ Roger Cicala has published an interesting article comparing 24-70mm F2.8 lenses from Canon, Nikon and Tamron, using both an optical test bench and Imatest results from Canon EOS 5D Mark III and Nikon D800E bodies. This provides some insights about the interaction between the sharpness of the lens and resolution of the camera’s sensor, and under what practical circumstances you might see any difference. It’s worth reading for anyone interested in the long-running question: what provides more detail, a higher resolution sensor with a good lens, or a lower resolution sensor with a great lens?

Tokina exhibits 70-200mm F4 FX and 12-28mm F4 DX lenses at CP+

29 Jan

tokina_12_28dx.png

Tokina has announced it will be exhibiting two soon-to-be-released lenses at the CP+ trade show in Japan. The AT-X 70-200 F4 PRO FX VCM-S is a telephoto zoom that’s designed for use on both full frame and APS-C SLRs, and features both optical image stabilisation and a ring-type ultrasonic autofocus motor with full-time manual override. Meanwhile the AT-X 12-28 F4 PRO DX is a replacement for the company’s existing 12-24mm F2 wideangle zoom for APS-C cameras. But rather than making the lens wider to match its competitors, Tokina has chosen to extend it further into the ‘normal’ range, to give an 18-42mm equivalent zoom.
